Abrasive wear behavior of SiC particulate reinforced AA5052 metal matrix composite

In the present work particulate reinforced aluminium metal matrix composites were developed by stir casting processing route in which AA5052 was reinforced with 5 wt% SiC-p of 63 µm particles size. The abrasive wear behavior of SiC-p reinforced AA5052 MMC was investigated and compared with that of u...

Description
Summary:In the present work particulate reinforced aluminium metal matrix composites were developed by stir casting processing route in which AA5052 was reinforced with 5 wt% SiC-p of 63 µm particles size. The abrasive wear behavior of SiC-p reinforced AA5052 MMC was investigated and compared with that of unreinforced AA5052. The worn surfaces were analysed by optical microscopy. The results show that at all applied loading conditions, SiC-p reinforced AA5052 MMC gives improved tribological properties as compared to the unreinforced AA5052; but the addition of SiC-p increases the density of the AA5052.
